bye bye block leave....

waaa today i had 63 visitors to my blog..
never so many b4 leh! hahaa.....
thankew thankew.

so today's the last day of block leave.. hmm spent it rather well i must say. went to miramar hotel for dim sum buffet with 3 yima's family plus alwyn.. haha.. not as many choices as other places i've eaten at but food's good.. the prawn fillings really alot. =) and ashton's so cute can. he kept giving that CHEEKY smile... haha. for more details please visit his blog. find his link from the 3rd green star below. and he knows alot of words already! can point to his body parts.. knows how to "think" and "sorry".. haha.. so funnehh.

after that came home in cousin kelvin's car... talked abt uni and clubbing abit.. haha.. got some more insights to studying at smu.. tho he din essentially graduate from there but yea.. hmm den packed my duffel bag lor.. 4plus went out to meet germ after her work... went to PS.. haha daniel ong and jamie yeo were doing some roadshow. she's hAawt i tell yu. then we were standing by the side.. they were asking true/false questions and i raised hands with another guy.. then jamie yeo yinimainiminimoo chose him to answer.. then dear and i were abt to walk away then they asked us if we wana answer the nest question.. haha then they asked.. and at the same time nodding their heads signalling to me the answer is true.. haha so i went to the mike and answered true.. and ta-da.. won some goodie bag.. haha. then daniel ong said "nice cap".. and jamie yeo turned around as she was walking back to look at me.

she likes me.

HAHAHA. maybe im thinking a LITTLE too much =)

anw had dinner w dear at swensens.. rather filling.. then shopped around lor.. dear bot pair of covered-toes shoe from DMK.. rather cheap. then walked arnd somemore.. took neoprint.. which was disappointing. pictures were nice man. really nice. but we chose wrong number of photos. so in the end we have 2 sets each but small ones.. sigh. den we came to clementi MACs to sit and talk....

sigh its like past 10plus days we've spent so many days tog.. jus when we start to see each other more often we have to go back to square one again.. but im glad i've a gf to go out with during this period.. tag was saying like family n friends can be there for me too.. but i told him its different.. its a special kinda connection.. like i know for sure she's always there to listen to me and to comfort me when im not feeling my best.. and there's always someone to give me a nice warm hug.. a feeling that makes me forget the pain temporarily and gradually... so yes dear.. thanks alot k? im really grateful to yu.. esp during THAT period when i was admitedly disappointed with my posting.. yup.

and my parents have been really loving too... boiling all the different soups for me... cos i've a bad cough man.. and they're like really concerened.. dad's been chiong-ing alot with his taxi these days.. hope he aint gona tire out... bot him a nice shirt for father's day.. hahaa... mum's a tad disappointed n shocked at my posting too.. actually quite alot of pple.. some seniors also quite shocked i din even make it to SISPEC.. i mean past few years i've been in quite a number of leadership positions and i believe what i've done for the pple around me and what kinda person i am is for all to see.. so i can understand why they tell me they're shocked la.. haha ohwells..

well i've come to terms with my posting actually... haha.. tmr's the day i start being an artillery man. quite cool actually.. i've seen the website with the picture of the main weapon i'll be dealing with.. got me a little excited... and spoke to/sms quite a number of pple and im starting to think of all the positive aspects of being in arty.. and more specifically being a man in arty....

yu noe dear's mum yest told me like mebe cos last time i "played around" with the navy officers.. like went through interview blabla then dun sign.. mebe i kena blacklisted or whatsoever... then anyhow throw me in some place.. *shrugs.. that one i duno wad to say.... if its really so den guess i made the mistake myself to have even expressed interest in navy?

anw spoken to hanjie last night... he was like shocked i din even make sispec.. haha. talking to him cheered me up alot.. haha bro i dun think yu'll read this but thanks alot man.. =) basically now i guess man will have more freedom and stuff... less weekends burnt and more admin time... perhaps not right from the start la.. when we'll all learn how to do this n that.. but after we've learnt everything we shld have alot of time to slack la... den arty in hanjie's words is like "KING OF THE BATTLEFIELD"... haha.. less xiong than other vocations like signals/armour/infantry.. hope no need to chiong sua too much.. cos my IMPRESSION is that arty jus drive the vehicle around, load the heavy ammunitions.. then fire off.. haha.. shouldn't be too much problem right? at least no need learn all the fire movements blabla.. =)

but of cos im abit sad at the fact that i'll be a corporal at most when i ORD... sigh yea i told him that also la... but he showed me the pros and cons of being commanders and men...
like for men yu get more time for yourself to learn driving or sepnd time with family n gf.... get tekan-ed less.. less responsibility cos yu jus do what yu are told.. more relaxed time serving NS generally...
but commanders yes they get commissioned in a sui sui parade.. parents and gf v proud of their officer son.. frens happy for them.. pple salute them... but at the same time they go thru more shit and have v little time for themself.. like what yuhang told me last time.. and they sometimes do v redundant stuff... yeaa.... hmm in simple terms its jus how i see it.. which way i choose to see...

he also say like in unit the sirs/sergeants treat the men generally better cos they fight alongside us so they need to forge a form of brotherhood with us la... and he told me about difference between training schools (BMT, OCS, SISPEC) and operational sch (the diff vocations)... the former get tekan like mad kind la while the latter more priority and stuff.. haha.. i REALLY REALLY hope this is true man.... hahah....

hmm den yest bumped into some seniors.. had a short chat with one of them afterwards at the bus-stop.. haha he say operational unit (ops) is slack after yu learn finish everything.. haha.. *phew*... like for him now he's a sergeant in a boat unit.. then he can play bball/soccer... cos yu'll only have exercises and more exercises.. as in field exercises... he also suggest i go represent their unit in some sport or sth if possible.. then can have more civilian time outside.. haha.. hmmm and he says alot depend on the pple yu work with la.. can have a very fun time slacking together and all.. if unlucky get bastards around yu den yu'll suffer for next 1.5 years... so all i hope now is good commanders and good platoon mates.. =)

hmm nip also said like he "always think if cannot go command sch den go some slack unit lor".. and he thinks arty quite slack too.... rog was like encouraging too.. telling me "SAF needs good officers but they also need good men" hahahaa... seldom rog's so positive with his words... thanks dude. haha tag's like the only one who told me arty is damn xiong la... i duno also.. shall see how..

OKKKK THIS IS A BLARDI LONG ENTRY....
hope some of your read finish.. haha. =)
till next week then.
hope it'll be a happy entry.. heh.
